NFL Team Logo for Jets New York Jets: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon Image for ORE

The Jets obviously need a quarterback. Justin Fields had a great Week 1, but completed only three passes against the Bills. Fields has gotten worse ever since. The Jets need to start over, and they can do that with this prospect.

Dante Moore releases the ball quickly and processes everything very well. He makes great plays with his arms and legs, and thanks to his performance at Penn State, he could be the favorite to be the No. 1 overall draft pick.

Pick change; previously LaNorris Sellers, QB

 
NFL Team Logo for Browns Cleveland Browns: Keldric Faulk, DE, Auburn Image for Aub

The Browns have a great defensive line, but sometimes teams like to strengthen a strength, especially when the prospect in question is the best player available.

Keldric Faulk has been a monster for Auburn. He has a great mix of power and speed on the edge.

Pick change; previously Denzel Boston, WR

 
NFL Team Logo for Ravens Baltimore Ravens: T.J. Parker, DE, Clemson Image for Clem

The Ravens have a lackluster pass rush, so they need all the help they can get in that regard to improve their defense.

T.J. Parker had a breakout sophomore campaign. He has impressive instincts and was very productive.

Pick change; previously L.T. Overton, DT

 
NFL Team Logo for Dolphins Miami Dolphins: John Mateer, QB, Oklahoma Image for OU

The Dolphins looked like the worst team in the NFL in Week 1, and part of that was Tua Tagovailoa’s incompetence. I don’t know if it’s because of all the concussions he’s suffered over the years, but Tagovailoa didn’t look like a viable player in the NFL. Perhaps he’ll turn things around, and he’s been a bit better in the next few weeks, but he hasn’t been great either. Miami will likely have to draft a new franchise quarterback.

John Mateer is very accurate and mobile. Charlie Campbell’s sources compare Mateer to Baker Mayfield.

 
NFL Team Logo for Raiders Las Vegas Raiders: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama Image for ALA

The Raiders have had issues in their secondary for many moons. It’s time for that to change.

Domani Jackson had a disappointing start to his collegiate career, but has the upside to meet expectations.

Pick change; previously Avieon Terrell, CB

 
NFL Team Logo for Saints New Orleans Saints: LaNorris Sellers, QB, South Carolina Image for

The Saints used a second-round pick on Tyler Shough, but if they have the No. 1 or 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Shough most likely will have performed poorly. Either way, the Saints wouldn’t pass on a generational quarterback.

LaNorris Sellers has a huge skill set and could be drafted earlier than this if he lives up to his potential.

Pick change; previously LaNorris Sellers, QB

 
NFL Team Logo for Titans Tennessee Titans: Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State Image for ArizS

The Titans will likely lose Calvin Ridley this offseason, so they’ll need a new No. 1 receiver.

Jordyn Tyson is a speedy, explosive receiver with quality size.

Pick change; previously Keldric Faulk, DE/DT

 
NFL Team Logo for Giants New York Giants: Avieon Terrell, CB, Clemson Image for Clem

The Giants have some poor play in the secondary that they’ll need to address soon.

The younger brother of A.J. Terrell, Avieon Terrell is a very instinctive cornerback who plays bigger than his 5-foot-11 size.

Pick change; previously Domani Jackson, CB

 
NFL Team Logo for Bengals Cincinnati Bengals: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson Image for Clem

The Bengals have severe issues throughout their defense, so taking the best player on that side of the ball makes sense.

Peter Woods is a disruptive interior lineman.

 
NFL Team Logo for Chiefs Kansas City Chiefs: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah Image for

Jawaan Taylor is a disaster. It’s time for the Chiefs to finally fix their offensive line.

Spencer Fano needs to fill out his frame, but he was stationed at left tackle as a freshman.

Pick change; previously Rueben Bain, DE

 
NFL Team Logo for Panthers Carolina Panthers: Arvell Reese, LB, Ohio State Image for OSU

The Panthers have the worst linebacker play in the NFL, so perhaps they’ll rectify that problem with this pick.

l Reese is a special player because of his incredible instincts and athleticism.

Pick change; previously T.J. Parker, DE

 
NFL Team Logo for Texans Houston Texans: Xavier Chaplin, OT, Auburn Image for Aub

The Texans need to make sure that C.J. Stroud’s blocking is as good as possible.

Xavier Chaplin has massive size and great movement skills for such a big offensive lineman.

Pick change; previously Spencer Fano, OT

 
NFL Team Logo for Cardinals Arizona Cardinals: Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee Image for UT

Even if Will Johnson pans out, the Cardinals will need another cornerback to go with him and Garrett Williams.

Jermod McCoy is an instinctive cornerback who tackles well.

 
NFL Team Logo for Cowboys Dallas Cowboys: Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State Image for OSU

The Cowboys gave up 450 passing yards to Russell Wilson and then allowed Caleb Williams to have the best performance of his career. Dallas’ miserable defense needs help at every level.

Caleb Downs projects as one of the top play-making safeties in the NFL in several years.

 
NFL Team Logo for Rams Los Angeles Rams: Denzel Boston, WR, Washington Image for Wash

Davante Adams is 33, while Cooper Kupp is gone. The Rams need a receiver for the future.

Denzel Boston is a huge receiver with big-play potential.

Pick change; previously Jordyn Tyson, WR

 
NFL Team Logo for Bears Chicago Bears: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU Image for LSU

Mansoor Delane is very instinctive with nice size.
